Arizona governor Doug Ducey has appointed Martha McSally to fill the senate seat left vacant with the resignation of John Kyl. Kyl, of course, was appointed to fill the seat last summer when John McCain passed away. As required by the Arizona constitution, the new senator is from the same party as McCain and Kyl.
I think this is a terrible appointment. Just six weeks ago, Arizona voters chose a new senator (for the other seat). In an election between McSally and Kristen Sinema, they opted for Sinema, the Democrat. If Arizona just rejected McSally, it seems wrong to name to her to fill the seat now. Worse still, if Arizona voters chose a bizarre candidate like Sinema, they truly rejected McSally.
I wish McSally well, but her appointment is still a slap in the face for the voters of Arizona.
